About
In a picturesque setting by the River Slea, this award winning, fully restored working watermill is thought to be the only Sheriff's Watermill still operating in England, and millers have produced flour on this site for over a thousand years. During 2021, North Kesteven District Council funded the restoration of the waterwheel, and now visitors can see this fantastic piece of historic machinery in action once again. Stone ground flour produced in the mill is sold in the shop together with locally sourced produce and goods. Events are held throughout the year alongside the monthly milling days, special events and weekly wheel turning. You can enjoy the riverside setting with refreshments from the gift shop, which also sells local produce.

Mike at Navigation House in Sleaford recommended we visit the Watermill and we weren't disappointed. It's lovely to see such investment in heritage sites, however it is the warmth, knowledge and enthusiasm of guides who bring a place to life. Absolutely brilliant greeting at the Mill, demonstration of the hoist, working machinery and watermill. With a verbal history of the mill and it's products and great information board, we truly felt the pulse of the mill. At the end we popped into the little shop and cafe and tried the lovely freshly baked biscuits. Which washed down perfectly with a hot drink. Wonderful staff, thank you for a great visit.
Wow what a lovely place to visit & so interesting would definitely recommend.
Lovely volunteers. Made interesting for children. Attractive setting.
A lovely gem with a very interesting history. Well kept & lovely staff/volunteers. Little shop selling flour milled on site & other lovely things & a little cafe. Great for children with activities etc for them. Lovely walk to it, down the river from town.
Really lovely place to visit, we went on a milling day so we got to feel the rumble as it milled through the flower, staff were at hand to answer any questions, a great experience, thankyou.
Lovelywalk along the riverside before visiting the mill. Lovingly restored, interesting to see and read history of the place. And the best hot chocolate available in the little cafe.
